David, it hasn't even been 3 mths. Your room is left untouched. I'm waiting to see you there. We all miss you & reminisce... There are tears. We will remember you always.

We had such fun while you were here with us, David. We're all so glad you came to spend the end of your life here. I'll never forget the good times we had - like when my mother said we looked like conjoined twins trying to watch the Pacquiao fight on the computer! Or when you'd slide off your chair and I had to pick you up - how we laughed. I miss you so much and look forward to seeing you again in the afterlife. You are loved. Sonny De Peso

David, I am so happy I had the chance to meet you! I am glad you got to spend your last days in a comfortable and loving home. Even though our time was brief, you still became a part of our family. I loved listening to your stories of Jason and Joseph and the grand kids. I will always miss you and am grateful for the time I had to get to know you.

David, you became a joyful part of our home during your last days. Your son, Joseph, was so happy to be reunited with you and my other two quickly came to love their older brothers' father - as you came to love them. We all miss you so. As we walk into the big room off the kitchen where you sat in your leisure chair with remote in hand, we miss seeing your tuft of hair rising above the back of the chair. You were such an integral part of this family - we just can't get used to you being gone.
And now,dear friend, you can finally admit to an afterlife! We will all join you when our turn comes.
Much love to you my dear friend David, Karen
